Cabin Creek Covered Bridge Receives Steel Support

WGN KY-68-03

 

Lewis County, KY, March 22, 2009 - Phase I of a steel reinforcement system meant to stabilize the Cabin Creek Covered Bridge is being slid into place by the Arnold Graton's Covered Bridge restoration team. The work is expected to be completed Tuesday, March 31.

This temporary stabilization is paid for through $500,000 in National Historic Covered Bridge Preservation Program funding allocated to the project more than a year ago. Officials estimate a total of $1 million to $1.5 million would be needed for a complete restoration.
